Eleven Months Now

I started studying Spanish with Duolingo May 6, 2023. I’m still doing the minimum each day with Duo and have been watching Netflix programs with Spanish subtitles. Some of it seems to be sticking. Click on the photos for higher resolution.

I love learning new things and watching things grow, so this has been a great hobby… I hope I can continue with it. Bless Duolingo for getting me started.

    This is so impressive! As I shared at that STEM panel several years ago, you are my role model!

  3. Ann Thompson says:

    That’s awesome that you’ve been doing this for that long. I couldn’t give the correct answer for either one of thos.

  4. Rose says:

    That is great that you are learning Spanish. Our high school only offered French, but I was not interested but now wish I had been.

    • Jean says:

      We have so many options for learning now. I know a lot more Spanish now than I did after four years of high school Spanish.

  5. Good for you! You are sure doing great sticking with it and learning lots!

    • Jean says:

      Spending some time on it regularly is the key. There are a lot of sentences in the subtitles I don’t understand yet, but it’s exciting that there are also a lot I can already read.

    I’m so glad this site continues to challenge and captivate you!

    • Jean says:

      They do a great job, so does Netflix with Spanish subtitles available for so many of its TV series and movies. I’m watching The Gilmore Girls now and could have the choice of the audio being dubbed in Spanish too. I’m not ready for that yet!

    I am so happy you found it and are even watching movies with Spanish. I tried it a couple of times and just could not remember what I read. I just stick with PicMonkey tutorials and figuring out how to do things. Learning by computer is a great thing for sure

  8. Ginny Hartzler says:

    How wonderful! You have the sharpest mind! I can barely remember anything anymore, much less an entire new language!

    • Jean says:

      I’m learning it in a completely different way than I did when I was in high school. Mostly I’m not trying to memorize anything. But some of it is starting to look familiar.

    But why would he want to raise spiders in his bathroom? That’s what I wanna know! 😀
